Yet, those bridges could have easily been repaired long ago. Why aren't things sensibly or rationally prioritized? The Lighthouse lighting system was repaired before the bridges. Does this make sense? So the Lighthouse is illuminated at night but we can't use the entire park - very nice.CheshireKittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008819998091697653.post-66370160367054166742014-05-07T18:28:52.414-04:002014-05-07T18:28:52.414-04:00Chirivas never admitted that.

They remedied the situation immediately, and wrote to me. So I'm not sure we need a users group to formalize and complicate matters.
